I'm guessing that you don't, then.
Incorrect. It isn't all that 'complex'. More business, means more demand. More demand, means more jobs. Were you absent when they covered that?
Nobody lays off workers when demand remains high. There's no money to be made by investing in stocks, unless you put huge amounts of money in, and create artificial values. Then you can reap the benefits when you dump it...as the big players are doing RIGHT NOW.
It's much easier to manipulate the futures markets. That does nothing to increase demand, and therefore, does nothing to create jobs.
